PRACTICING BONHAM SOLO IDEAS / FAST FOOT DOUBLES

[@charlesseagraves6210]

George, you really capture the essence of Bonham’s drumming… it’s very entertaining and enlightening! 👍

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thank you, Charles!

[@Tutu-fl4jn]

Bonzo is proud of you wherever he is.❤

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

❤️🙏🏼

[@georgemichael9106]

That is correct

[@tranquil_eye]

It’s a good day when George uploads… every drummer needs this wisdom 🎵

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks!

[@chriskarp1877]

I love how honest and humble this gentleman is. Truly a great drummer and appears a person!😊

[@DC-ih8bv]

I loved his solo on May 25th 1975 Earls Court. He knows he had to make a statement. It was the last show and the previous night he seemed tired during MD. He comes out firing on all cylinders with nice camera shots of his hands and how he was holding his sticks. Wasn’t heavily gripping them. Oh so lightly. I think it’s a better solo then Royal Albert in 1970. He is older , better and smarter. Less arm movement more wrist action. Check it out.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Agreed, although he had already developed some refinement in his chops by 1970. But yes, much more economy of motion.

[@johnmitchell4242]

I agree I was at that gig and he played a fantasticly relaxed but interesting and intense 32 minutes drum and timpani solo .. Fantastic drummer 😊

[@CarterBales-jp2wt]

George is such an incredible musician and teacher.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Much appreciated 😊

[@thecandlebombs]

George, once again priceless! brotha and congratulations! on the Mr Jimmy shows Jimmy’s a friend of mine, really feel you and Jose are doing God’s work with all the research and different kinds of music you guys present, btw your take on “Love for sale” is awesome first time I saw you use traditional grip. After the Jason Bonham shows we’re gonna have Jimmy come up for a few tunes with our Led Zeppelin tribute ZEPTUNE so maybe we’ll see you there most likely early 2025, would be an honor to meet you brotha🎃- Brian

[@robthetimekeeper2423]

That's gold, Jerry!

[@curtislangford6248]

Diffently a treasurer snare stroke that sounds great and fun to find your own groove with that accent rim shot!!!!

[@billyjleva]

I could listen to that beautifully tuned Supra all day!!! Thx for the practice ideas George

[@scottpetersen3570]

You prove time and time again that Bonham had it all going on.

[@paulseano5100]

Drivin the groove bus. Precision and finesse.

Great "Bonhamology 101" lesson. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@pjlogan386]

Great George, thanks for this,you are the go to guy for all bonzo stuff.

Georges, thank you so much for breaking down some of the sticking.

[@Thelastsonofkrypton1977]

Yes,🤘 Iv been practicing this… without much success so far☝️ looks like Iv got my homework for the week thanks v much George 👍

[@stevePsutton]

George, Absolutely brilliant. I think there's a massive craving from drummers out here that can play stuff, but are looking for a path (road map) to get us into a Bonham-esque style, so that we can play/jam have fun. Taking it with us and into places of our own in a natural way. ie it becomes part of our tool kit. There are small pieces out there, but not really a set of ordered exercises that build into the end product. It's knowing where to start and progressively add in small chunks / variations, over a longer time period (months/years) to build what I think we'd all like to have. Please more, more more .....

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks!

[@russellarmentrout5180]

Thank you for sharing your experience! You are my new favorite online drum instructor Thank you 😊

[@michaeldeloach838]

Dude, you got that snare dialed in man. Sounds amazing! Those Supraphonics are the best

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks!

[@BrandyspesialN]

very nice practising thank you George

[@josephmonaco4503]

You're amazing George but, After watching John on that solo, I can't believe how fast and how easily he gets up to a tremendous speed without a flaw. It looks and sounds easy to the ears that don't know any better. It might be said that it sounds repetitious but, I play very fast quads but I don't have you hand speed. I definitly don't have John's.

[@iorijones6351]

Just fantastic. From your explanation to your playing at Bonham speeds with such musicality is amazing - thank you. Have a fantastic weekend ! - keep on rockin ! 🥁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥁

[@anemicroyalty8764]

I have a completionist question: There’s a couple of videos from the beginning of your channel that I can’t find. One is your first snare tuning video I think ( I specifically remember you talking about Ambassadors vs Emperors), and the other was where you tried to use a tunebot. I loved both those, it’s freaking me out that I can’t find them.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

I took down the one with the tomb bought because I was getting so many negative comments. Lol. I think I may have deleted it forever, but I'll check on those

[@georgemichael9106]

I remember those as well great vids.

[@anemicroyalty8764]

@@BONHAMOLOGY Thanks.

[@BUBBAROC1]

George thanks for another great lesson. I love the sound of your Superphonic. What head is on it . Coated Emperor or Vintage Emperor? Thanks for the wonderful videos.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Actually on this one, it's an Ambassador

[@BUBBAROC1]

@@BONHAMOLOGY Wow! Sounds great. Thanks for the videos and your knowledge 🥁

[@DaveDamageDrums]

Nice! This is challenging to do slow and fast! 😜Great lesson George and excellent practice for coordination! Another example of why Bonzo's my favorite drummer. Where does this come from do you think of keeping the right hand ghosting in the solo? Buddy, Morello, Elvin, or just on his own? That footage from Earls Court is thunderous and shows how much he had amazing wrist and finger control. Plus, gotta say, those are some damn comfortable looking shoes you got rocking! Thanks! ✌❤🥁

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks Dave, that's very true. Notice his finger control on that video. I'm not sure really, but Max did a similar thing, so did Morello.

[@dugbopper]

George thanks for all you're lessons. What sticks are you using?

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Some custom made jobs I got last year.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

They are similar to the ones Terry ( Bonzoleum) had made ...same guy b

[@scottbryant2235]

Absolutley marvalous work & video! Thanks so much for breaking it down for morons like myself!

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Very welcome

[@danielg.8997]

George, in the beginning of the video you are doing true double rolls ( RR LL ) not paradiddles correct ?

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Can you give a time marker? I wasn't doing either, they are singles in the very beginning.

[@georgemichael9106]

George I played everything you just did except for the kick drum the snare and the rack tom,,, oh wait that just leaves the hihat Ok I’ll get back to you lol. PFOZ tour dates like JPJ said in the movie that’s tomorrow.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Haha, thanks George!

George doing drags is never a drag. See what I did there?😆

John's influence was Max Roach. Go back and study the influence of your influence then get around to your own style.

Are you speaking as a generalization? Or is that comment directed at me personally?
